Dwarves are represented very frequently from the ancient time up today in figurative arts, sculpture, and pictures. Various examples of sculpture representing dwarves have been discovered in Egypt at the time of the pharaohs [1, 2]. In addition, the dwarves are frequently depicted in many pictures of various painters during all the epochs until today [3, 4]. In Tunisia, there are many museums exhibiting mosaics from Middle East and North Africa countries, such as Bardo Museum and Sousse Archeological Museum. Figure 1 illustrates a fourth century A.D. mosaic depicting Venus crowning herself, surrounded by female dwarves on boats, and it is exposed at Bardo Museum, Tunisia.
